Talk 604

10th January, 1939

A certain lady was singing a devotional song. It said among other things:

“Thou art my father,Thou art my mother,Thou art my relations,My possessions and all,” and so on.

Sri Bhagavan remarked with a smile, “Yes, yes, Thou art this, That and everything except ‘I’. Why not say ‘I am Thou’ and finish it?”
